Early Career & Background

Thomas Gordon Barker served in the British Army’s Household Cavalry before spending many years in southern Africa, where he built a distinguished career in advertising and marketing. During that time, he worked with leading agencies including J. Walter Thompson before founding his own digital marketing agency specialising in website development, SEO, and live streaming.

Gordon’s Digital Marketing Agency Experience

His client portfolio reflects broad sector experience assisting and building brands on the web —from fast-moving consumer goods such as Superga Shoes, Kappa Sports Clothing, Tropika, and Premier Foods, to B2B brands like Retecon and automotive groups including Sandown Motors (Mercedes-Benz).

Technical Expertise

His live streaming division has produced broadcasts for government departments, activist organisations, and sports events including the Indoor Netball Masters Tri-Nations, demonstrating both technical expertise and creative adaptability across diverse audiences.

SEO Innovation

What SEO masters are not talking about much but is highly significant in todays AI is the capability of creating your own Markov modelling techniques which Google uses for it’s PageRank authority of your website. In the past you had to be a computer scientist to be able to calculate how this works but by using AI and asking the right questions you are able to visualize your own website as Google sees it.

Website Security & Innovation

One of his recent areas of focus has been website security—a small but can be a big issue. He developed a plugin that uses IP address scanning to help protect websites while also supporting their SEO performance. What stands out is the user needs to do nothing as it runs in the background and sends a daily email report on what happened yesterday. Who were the major players and what was authentic or what could pose a threat to the network.

British Roots & Heritage

Although Gordon spent much of his life in Africa, his roots are firmly British. As an armed forces veteran, his family’s connection to British public life runs deep. His uncle Adam Barker was a former fellow of Queens’ College, Cambridge, and a master at Eton before taking on the Headmaster’s role of Leys School Cambridge who then moved to be headmaster of University College School, Hampstead.

His aunt Jean Barker (Baroness Trumpington) was Mayor Jean Barker – Lady Trumpington, the First Conservative Woman Mayor of Cambridge. In the 1960s and 1970s she served in local government in Cambridgeshire. In 1980 she was created a life peer after which she served in the House of Lords.

Personal Philosophy

Gordon’s journey through the challenges of COVID-19 reshaped his outlook and purpose. He often quotes Rob Burrow who said, “In a world of diversity, we must dare to dream.”
